Body Found In River Identified

August 24, 1999

Police have identified a murder victim found dumped in the Chicago River over the weekend as Carlos Jaramillo, 27, of Carol Stream. Authorities were able to positively identify Jaramillo with data from a missing persons report and the victim's family, Grand-Central Area Sgt. John Manos said early Tuesday. Jaramillo had been stabbed more than a dozen times, police said. His body was recovered Saturday night from the North Branch of the Chicago River at 5049 N. Albany Ave. He died of multiple stab wounds, and the death was ruled a homicide, said a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office. It was unclear what day Jaramillo was killed, but his brother told police they had seen each other last week. Police had not established a motive for the slaying by early Tuesday, and no one was in custody.
